Verse 1: 
FWell, I want to try and hold my head up high
In this busted-up Pinto truck conversion between the Cbroken concrete and the cloudy sky

There'Fs enough gas to get us Chome now if we gliFde

When we Ftook this job I thought that you knew the deal
I told the boss we had a Mercedes-Benz but all we Cgot in our yard is a steering wheel
Well, I Bbcan't borrow this tuxedo much longer, well we Cmight have to cut and Bbsell your long hair

Yeah, well, Bbhoney, we can't afford to look this cheap
We need to make it look like we're high class, so we'll Chaul ourself on, we can't be beat

Well, Fhoney, we can't Cafford to look thiFs cheap.
